Default 1978 Blazer

So far I’ve but 430 miles on the Blazer. The first tank full I averaged 17.6 MPG. Mainly city and goofing around. With a 31 gallon tank this thing should have over 500 mile range on the high way.

It no track car but it’s been a lot of fun so far!

For engine, trans, radiator, fans, fuel pumps, fuel pump controller and exhaust for under $6000 it is a bargain. The most expensive parts on it are the Holley Mid Mount Accy Drive. But that was worth it because it works and fits great.

My SWAG is the truck would run high 14 sec quarter mile time. Fast enough to get on the highway and pass.
